Criminal justice clients in Sacramento, California often end up in drug rehab centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that treating them will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be incredibly effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Sacramento, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a lot of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
